Yes, Aimee Yermish is a good suggestion -
http://www.davincilearning.org/There's also the Gifted Resource Center of New England, based in Providence, RI.
http://www.grcne.com/I know Dr. Lovecky has a waitlist at GRCNE. My son's on the waitlist for a spring appointment. I think the initial appointment is $180 or something but you could always try contacting her and see if she could help in some capacity. I'll warn you that she's tough to get hold of by phone.
I grew up in the SE MA/RI area and live on the North Shore of MA now. I understand completely with your vent. If you notice, I'm taking my son to RI for testing. What does it say? There's not a lot in this area for giftedness.
I also completely sympathize with the finances. I'm an unemployed librarian/archivist/historian and former teacher who's about to homeschool a eg/pg son. And yes, I've got a student loan to pay as well. I feel your pain, believe me.
Another idea - you might want to try contacting URI's Outreach Office (
http://www.uri.edu/outreach/database.html); URI's Mental Health Services (
http://www.uri.edu/artsci/psy/pcc) or equivalent in Providence or Boston.
